    Dude, sarcasm is hard to detect on the net period, so don't stress it. Anyone who tells you differently is full of it.

    I think it's a bad idea not to release the system with a HDD, because...releasing it later is sure to mean that noone will support it. Look at the PS2 HDD. Like...five games support the thing.

    Yeah, I can see why Sony wouldn't include one, given the current projected cost for the system, but...it's still a bad idea. Why not throw at least a five GB HDD in there, and then let people buy an upgrade later? Bad move, Sony....

    GG, that article from Anandtech you posted makes absolute sense. Thank you. I now understand what these evil companies are trying to do. I shall upgrade to Athlon 64

    Whether with HDD or not, the PS3 will outsell all other next-gen consoles.

    Oh and Masj, i just noticed your title is back to normal.

    I'll fix that


    Edit: See !!!

    Yes of course... because it's the PS3...

    Now say if Microsoft was smart they would have called there system the PS3... then way they would be able to sell it, even if it's overpriced and has no games.

    No one has explaind the logic behind the PS3 outselling the Revolution and X360...

    PS: I don't think Sony will sell quite as many PS3's this time around... I think the Market Share will be much more even.

    Simply put, Sony has a reputation for delivering the goods.

    From PS to the PS2, Sony has always kept it's status as the king of consoles.

    With the most 3rd party support of any of the three bigs, gamers always look toward the Playstation franchise to find the best games. Nintendo is the only one that can possibly compete with sony for the sheer fact that Nintendo is the most innovative and has kept pretty secret with the details of the revolution. Xbox 360 will sell well since its the first to come out but 2006 will be a sad year for Microsoft.

    The Ps3 will outsell the rest because gamers trust Sony to deliver the best gaming experience like they've done in the past. Remember how they shut down the Dreamcast I think the Xbox is next. (although i loved Dreamcast T_T)

    There is no need to explain the logic of PS3 outselling the other console. You just need to be familiar with something called "the Sony hype". Casuals eat that for breakfast.

    Well if nothing changes Sony will be on Top... but then again... The world has not stopped turning yet...

    Sony will not always be on top. It may not be this next generation, or the one after that, But it will happen.
